P9 for Alonso in FP1, signed in mid-test with 1’44.862. In the second session of the Gran Premio de Catalunya, the number 21 continued to work on his Boscoscuro setting, improving the feeling. 1’45.087 (+0.335) and p5 for Lopez in FP2, which became p10 in the provisional combined ranking.

First day of ups and downs for Aldeguer and his team, which started with rear grip problems in the morning session and with some difficulty when entering corners in the afternoon. 1’45.408 and p17 in the combined Catalan Friday for rider 54 who, together with his technicians, is studying the data collected to improve the sensations in view of qualifying.

ALONSO LÓPEZ #21: 10^th in 1’44.862

“I am very happy with this first day here at the Circuit de Catalunya, I think it is our best Friday so far! This morning we suffered a bit but in the afternoon after a few small changes to the setting we improved our sensations. It is true that we did not lower the time but the track conditions were worse. Tomorrow we will continue the same path as today and, as always, I thank the team. Mañana más!”.

FERMÍN ALDEGUER #54: 17^th in 1’45.408

“A bit complicated day, but we continue to work towards tomorrow’s quali. We know where we can improve and we know what we can achieve, and nothing, tomorrow will be a better day!”.
